1t Is thus evide mt that farmer with
quantity of musty or damaged straw
that is unfit for feeding can turn 1t in
to very fair manure by composing
1t. There should bo basin or cistern
into which th urine and the water
that has washed over the yard man
urc, could drain. This liquid should
be pumped over the straw heap. A
good fertilizer would result
Dr. jenkins. of the Connecticut Ex-
pertinent Station, has prepared au
elaborate table Of the ''manuria val

averages of many analyses to deter

MANURE FROM STRAW.
The ProoeEs Of Making It as Described by
n Noted Authority.

The ProoeEs Of Making II ms Described by
Noted Authority.
Thousands of tons of straw arc
wasted every year. When agriculture
is new and grain is raised on II large
scale, farmers appear to think that tho
sole purpose Of the plant is to produce
the kernel, and that the straw is a
waste product, TO bc gotten rid of as
easily and chcaply as possible. So In
the far West, on tho great wheat fisids
of Kansas or Colorado, tho match IS
applied TO the straw stacks. Fire re-
duces the great mass of unstable
material and the farmer is glad 10 get
rid of 1t. Where straw can not be
given away or sold. has no market
value, in fact probably firc is tho bes.
reducing agent, but there are thou
sands of instances where straw is
placed so near the farm buildings that
fire 'roductionn is out of the question,
and yet tho straw is wasted.
Many farmers are buying vast
quantities of stable manure or
chemicals, while several old straw
stacks are slowly rotting down on
their premises. 1t is with the hopo Of
turning tho attention of farmers 10 tho
methods employed in manufacturing
this straw into manure that this aru-
tile is prepared.
Farmers near tho city clearly recog.
nize the feeding value Of rye straw.
There is good demand for it at the
paper factories, but farmers as rulo
believe that unless they can get more
than five cents per bundle it will pay
better to feed it out The straw Is
chopped, mixed with tho feed and
moistened. There is n general 'farm
legend" that a diet of chopped rye
straw win keep a horse free from
worms and hasten tho departure Of
bots from the stomach. Many farm
ers feed some oat and wheat straw.
A favorite way TO feed oats in somo
localities is to cut when quito green.
cure like hay, and then tie in
small bundles, to be fed entire
the grain and straw together. Clean
and bright wheat straw can be fed
with profit. 1t is well worth housing
When wet and mus'y it is OF little
value. Many farmers, particularly
those who do not house their straw,
do not believe in feeding it out, but
use it for bedding. 1t is good ABB
sorbent particularly when chopped.
Animals kept In box-stalls soon tramp
1t into a good fertilizer. Many farmers
dig their barn-yards into a dismnns
shape and keep straw spread upon the
bottom. Tho water and liquid manure
that run into the yard keep tho straw
